A Happy Half-Birthday

That's right! Can you believe it???!!!?!? MAELLE IS 6 MONTHS OLD TODAY!

Can someone please tell that sweet little baby of mine to stop growing up so fast?!?
She is officially now eating solid food--in fact, today was her first taste. She had rice cereal, nothing fancy, but she loved it, and of course, she got it absolutely EVERYWHERE. It was so great.

The Whole Tooth...

Maelle has been teething for quite a while now, and today, all that gnawing and chewing and drooling paid off. She has officially cut her first tooth. It's on the bottom front, and a sharp little sucker. I know it's a little funny, but Matt and I are bursting with pride...every little accomplishment and indication of growth has us beaming, and this is no different.

Way to go Maelle! WE LOVE YOU!

Cutting ties...already

So tonight is the first night that Maëlle is going to sleep in her own room, and not in ours. I know I know. By most people's standards we're probably well behind on this. She is almost six months old now.

But believe it or not the first ties that we are cutting with our first daughter are quite difficult. We'll see how the night goes. We're hoping that her being in her own room will lead to better quality sleeps without us disturbing occasionally.
